PSI Java-free Plug-in

Unsupported Java

Atlas Cloud will no longer be providing support for Java-based in-application testing. Java-based testing will continue to be available within ET2 and should work for the foreseeable future, providing no changes are made by the third-party application providers (Microsoft and Oracle) that affect its operation. Supported Java-free Plug-in

In-application testing will now be supported using a Java-free environment. The Java-free environment requires all system requirements to be met and a Plug-in installation prior to use.

Installing the PSI In-application Plugin prior to Testing

1. Download the PSIIAPlugin.msi installation file from the link below: http://international.psionline.com/downloads/PSIIAPlugin.msi

2. Press the Run button.

http://international.psionline.com/downloads/PSIIAPlugin.msi


3. Press the Next button

4. If a prompt appears, click Yes. The installation should not take long.


5. A message will appear to show that the Setup Wizard is complete. Click the Finish button.

5. If the printer does not reside within the list at all, then please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation

5. If the required printer does not reside within the list at all, then please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation


Issues with .Net Framework Another problem that you might encounter with Atlas Cloud is the .Net Framework error. Your computer must have the .Net Framework version 3.5 installed. Even though you might have version 4 installed, you still need to have the 3.5 version. In order to install .Net Framework 3.5 go the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21

Click the Download button.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21

Wait until it downloads and installs the required files.


Click the Close button to finish the installation process.

If an error is still being shown, there are only 2 options left from our end to help out: Option 1: To make an appointment with Holistic Technologies, to come at our testing centre to work out the diagnostic test on one of our PC’s. Please note that a fee of €3.00 is applicable. Option 2: To make an appointment with one of our technical staff, in order for them to install the required setup files on your device. Please note that a fee of €5.00 is applicable.


Logging into Your Account

After the Check System Requirements marks everything OK, you can logon into your account using the provided username and password.

Once you login, the following screen should appear. The diagnostic tests are found under I/ECDL Diag Standard.


Diagnostic Test

From the list of available diagnostic tests, select the test you wish to take. Then the Automatic System Requirements Check window will appear. The check verifies that the computer fulfils the requirements to run the selected test. Click Continue when it’s ready.


Another screen appears with the test properties. It explains the rules for this test and what are you allowed to do. Just click on the Start button to start your Diagnostic Test.


Launch with Java Please note that the Java plugin does not work with Windows XP operating system. However, you have the alternative to keep using the Java application. However, it is your responsibility to make sure that you have the latest Java application installed on your machine. In order to launch the diagnostic test using Java, you need to click on the Launch with Java link which is found at the bottom-right corner.

Press the Continue button and Start to start the diagnostic test.


The Test Window

Once you have started your test, you will see the test window displayed which consists of 4 parts:

1. Control Panel 2. Question Text 3. Question Area 4. Answer Button

Please note that in some questions (especially the multiple choice questions) there might be two answer buttons, one at the control panel and one below the question area. They serve for the same purpose and it does not matter which one you use.


Working Through the Control Panel

Answering a Question When you have made your answer to the specific question you must press the Answer button to confirm that answer – you will automatically move on to the next question.

Note: The Answer button will be greyed out (disabled) until you attempt to answer the question.

Clearing an Answer The Clear button is used when you have made an attempt to answer a question and would like to clear that answer and attempt that specific question again.

Note: In an ECDL Certification test, once you have selected the Answer button you are not permitted to clear that question and re-answer it.

Suspending the Test The Suspend Test button can be used to leave a diagnostic test without ending it. Using this button will take you back to the catalogue page, from where you can also resume the test at a later time.


Note: This button is not available in the actual Certification Exam. However the invigilator can suspend the test if any problem during the actual exam arises. Therefore ECDL Certification Exams cannot be suspended by the students and must be completed in one attempt.

Ending the Test The End Test button is used if you want to end a test prior answering all questions. Kindly note that once answering all questions within the test, you will automatically see a message confirming this.

Navigation Buttons

The Navigation buttons are used to navigate between questions. Clicking the Nav button will display the navigation window and allow the user to move to another question within the test. The Prev and Next buttons allow the user to skip forwards or backwards.

Navigation Bar


The Navigation Bar is a scrollable bar located below the question area. It shows the current position within the test by highlighting it. It also shows which questions have already been answered and which remain to be answered. Note: For Diagnostic Tests, the navigation bar can also be used to select and navigate to a different question. We hope that through this guide book you have managed to understand better how your Atlas Cloud account works. Kindly note that Holistic Technologies staff is always there to help you and support you when it comes to the ECDL. If you have any queries, that you would like to have them answered you may call us on our support line +356 2397 7000 between Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm.
